App works in debug mode just fine by running react-native run-android
But, when I try to build in relase mode by running cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease
it gives me this error:
android\app\build\intermediates\res\merged\release\drawable-hdpi\node_modules_reactnavigation_src_views_assets_backicon.png: error: uncompiled PNG file passed as argument. Must be compiled first into .flat file..
error: failed parsing overlays.
Failed to execute aapt
com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt
I tried workarounds like putting android.enableAapt2=false and org.gradle.configureondemand=true in android/gradle.properties
They both helped me create signed apk but app was crashing on start,
I tried to debug that crash by adb logcat and error is:
FATAL EXCEPTION: Thread-139
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to load script from assets 'index.android.bundle'. Make sure your bundle is packaged correctly or you're running a packager server.
Please help me out, I cant seem to figure out how to solve this.
